qThe crowd's jaws dropped as they stared dazedly at the burly bodyguard lying on the ground, then shifted their gaze to the girl.

“I didn't touch him.” The girl lifted both of her hands in surrender and said innocently, “I came in to inform everyone that the meeting is about to start.” With that, she whirled around and left.

Everyone was confused by the sudden arrival and departure of the girl.

At that moment, Kallum and a few directors came in looking for Johann. Their steps faltered when they spotted Jesse and “Zachary” in the room with Johann being held by two bodyguards.

One of the directors snapped out of his daze and threatened, “Let Mr. Sterk go, or I'll call the police.”

Jesse frowned at the threat. After he made a gesture with his hand, the bodyguards immediately let Johann go.

“Mr. Sterk.” Lucy instantly went up to him and supported him.

“We were just talking with Mr. Sterk.” Chris rose to his feet. “It's almost time. Let's start the meeting.” He left right after.

Jesse stood and followed suit, leaving Johann's office.

After they left, Kallum and the rest hurriedly went into the office and shut the door. Frantically, they asked, “What happened?”

“They were forcing Mr. Sterk to sell his shares,” Lucy said angrily. “And they even wanted to hurt him. They have truly crossed the line this time.”

“That's ridiculous! How could they do such a thing!”

While they were furious, a sudden thought crossed their mind. If Jesse dared to hurt even Johann, he wouldn't treat us any better.
